Methods of Configuring Detection Zones using the PC

With its SIMATIC FS600 Parameterization Software LS4soft configuration and
diagnostic software, the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner offers various methods for
setting the configurations of detection zones.
Numerical input
A separate dialogue within the user program "SIMATIC FS600 Parameterization
Software LS4soft" allows the right, left and front edges of the detection zone to be set
using numerical values in mm.
Graphic input
A separate dialogue within the user program "SIMATIC FS600 Parameterization
Software LS4soft" allows the basic contours of the detection zone to be entered. The
contours can be adapted infinitely to the desired size of the detection zone. The following
shapes are available:
• circle
• rectangle
• polygon
